Looks legit to me, but I would love the opinion of the wizened oracles

BOR bracelet seems to be in good condition, too.

 

It's a redial. The Don Draper Effect is in play with this watch.

 

Text looks reasonably clean and the Swiss Made is pretty far down. What gave it away?

 

The crosshair should be just inside the spine of the E in OMEGA, not running down the spine. Also, if it were an original black dial the seller would be going out of their way to say that. They carefully avoid using "original" to describe anything about this watch, yet in his other current Seamaster listing "original" is in the title (even though that's a redial too).

 

Good to know. Thanks!

Friggin' Don Draper....

 

The other tell is that the figures have lost their crispness and the black paint has wrapped up around their sides.

Most dials on these 600s like this one have figures which are part of the dial face and not applied (removable). When refinished paint is typically applied to the entire dial face and then polished off the figures.

 

Yet another thing to look for. The more I learn, the less I know....
